SBC-MediaGX Development Kit

New embedded software development kit includes
drivers.

Arcom's SDKfor embedded Linux product development comes with
software drivers, cables and documentation to support all on-board
features and is ready to run out of the box.

Arcom Control Systems has released an embedded Linux
development kit that includes a working configuration of the
operating system and all necessary drivers. The SBC-MediaGX
development kit offers developers a predefined, pared down version
of the OS (based on Red Hat 6.2) that comes loaded and configured
into the embedded Flash. A SBC-MediaGX processor board with 64MB
DRAM (expandable up to 128MB DRAM) and 16MB Flash EPROM also comes
with the kit.

Using Century Embedded Technologies Operating Environment v1.10, I

Century Software Embedded Technologies announced a new
operating environment and development toolkit, version 1.1, for
embedded Linux product design. New wireless applications,
multimedia, enhanced toolkit, along with Century's commercial
support and engineering services, provide tools for developing and
deploying PDAs, webpads and internet appliances. Version 1.1
supports wireless connectivity on various platforms, including the
StrongARM-based Compaq iPAQ, ADS graphics client, x86 Geode and
MIPS Harrier.

A binary download of the entire operating environment is
available for selected hardware platforms, as well as for target
platform graphical application emulation on Red Hat desktops. A
complete SDK, with cross-development libraries, automated build
platform, source code and documentation, is available, as is
commercial support and engineering services for embedded product
and internet appliance design.

During the National Manufacturing Week tradeshow in Chicago
in March 2001, Applied Data Systems (ADS) introduced the Graphics
Master, a new RISC-based single-board computer system with a USB
master, Ethernet and compact Flash memory. Utilizing a new USB host
capability, the Graphics Master allows high-level communications on
a low power management platform. The system includes an on-board
four-port USB hub, a USB downstream power switch and a USB
slave/USB bus master.

Key to the Graphics Master is its compact Flash interface
connector, which extends the existing Flash memory options of 8, 16
or 32MB in addition to complementing the 16 and 32MB SDRAM options
running at 103MHz. The PCMCIA slot is available for device cards
with modems, 802.11 or IDE. In addition, the Graphics Master
extends the serial ports from three to seven.

The Graphics Master has an array of feature options built on
a 32-bit Intel StrongARM SA-1110 and SA-1111 companion chip RISC
processor, with clock rates up to 206MHz and a low power management
platform. As the name suggests, the Graphics Master has high-end
graphics with multiple high speed analog, digital and PWM inputs
and outputs, and a video interface with resolution up to 1024 x
768.
